People hate change, that’s a fact. I was once involved in an enormous change management programme at an investment bank where hundreds of people were flown all over the world for training, just so the changes the boss wanted to implement could be handled smoothly. The bottom line was that all that money was spent […]

I was speaking today in San Salvador, El Salvador, at the 2017 Investment Summit hosted by Proesa, the national export and investment promotion agency. The summit was a big event in El Salvador – for the first time ever president Salvador Sánchez Cerén came and opened the conference – speaking about opportunities for international trade across a wide […]

I have often written how digital disruption has completely changed the way that customers engage with brands. The customer journey used to be defined and controlled by companies, yet the mobile Internet and social networking platforms have now handed control to the customers to determine how and when they seek information or try engaging with […]

According to Forrester Research, 72% of executives now say that improving the customer experience (CX) is their number one priority. Yes, it’s become so important now that it beats cost reduction and growing revenues, although it could be argued that improving the CX usually has a positive effect on both these other targets.

When people ask me what I do, I say that I’m a writer. They usually ask what kind of novels I write, but then I have to explain that there are many kinds of writer. I have written 15 non-fiction books and I’m working on two new ones at present, and I continue to contribute […]

Twitter has recently introduced improvements to their Direct Messaging (DM) functionality to help businesses offer an improved customer experience (CX) when customers use Twitter to get in touch. The new tools allow a DM button to be offered, allowing quick access to DM and when the DM window appears, the brand can populate it with […]

I visited Cape Town and Durban recently as a guest of BPESA (Business Process Enabling South Africa) and attended the South Africa Business Process Management (BPM) Summit. The summit featured local business leaders, industry influencers, and politicians eager to create jobs in South Africa by riding the wave of Business Process Outsourcing (BPO). The majority […]

Customers and stand-up comedians usually still think of the customer service process as difficult. The long waits on hold and the inability of customer service representatives to actually do anything to help, but times are changing. Think back a few years. It was the brands who defined how customers could get in touch by publishing […]

One of the best events I've attended for years. Inspiring, thought provoking speakers who were really happy to share their experience and expertise. I loved the format!Head of Engagement, The Co-operative Group

Case studies were fantastic and the industry reports are extremely useful for that wider view of insight we're not so exposed to within our every-day roles.Customer Experience Manager Europe, HSBC
